Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] For the TSC composition discussion on Tuesday

Drafts folder after the TSC call - so I had not sent it - DN]

Thank you for putting this together, Ray!

A few comments: Your wiki stats look off - I would expect to see many
more people in the list (of course the first thing I did out of vanity
was look for myself, and I have definitely made a number of wiki edits
and comments, but I am not in the list).

We have so far discussed erring on the side of inclusion, so I am
curious about your setting a bar at 50 or 100 contributions. It might
make sense to have a minimum number for some of the lower impact
activities like Gerrit reviews, but for others like patch submission, a
lower bound of 1 might make more sense. For wiki edits 5 or 10 seems
reasonable. If using a composite metric, I would lean towards a lower
number (say, 20) rather than higher, to be more inclusive.

Have you considered being active on the mailing list as a potential
market of activity? Again the question of whether people who are active
on the list, but inactive elsewhere, can be considered active
contributors (I think they could) - there, perhaps 30 emails during the
year is a good level.

I would also be interested to hear if there are people who previously
had a vote as committers, who would not have a vote under this scheme,
or whether there is a big difference in the size of the
community/electorate with your proposed levels.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Dave.

Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] For the TSC composition discussion on Tuesday

[Raymond Paik]

Following-up on this as we didn't have sufficient time for discussion
during this week's TSC and we wanted to continue the conversation over
email.

For additional context, please look at notes that several community members
contributed to on this topic at
https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/TSC+composition+discussion

There was a strong consensus to move away from committers as constituents
for both nominations & voting in TSC elections.  That's how we arrived at
looking at several tools to identify "active contributors" (of code &
non-code) in OPNFV.  As I mentioned on the call, the proposal is for PTLs
to have an input on the active contributors list that is generated in case
people fall through the cracks.  No matter which metrics we chose, it's not
going to be perfect

Thanks,

Ray
